Physicians and health care providers are pledged to perform to standards of care. When they do not, patients' rights have been violated. You and your family may be facing increased medical costs a living costs because of medical negligence that takes place in surgery, during birth or in the emergency room.
Medical mistakes include a range of examples, including:
- Failing to divulge information
- Misusing a medical device or implant
- Making a surgical error during an operation
- Failing to get informed consent from a patient
- Failing to perform a procedure
These are but a few instances of how inappropriate practice by a health care provider deviates from generally accepted standards of practice. Whether you have been misdiagnosed by a physician or injured during an operation, you may need help finding another doctor or paying medical bills.
